I had the pleasure of working with John at a recent certification over the weekend. I was unexpectedly asked to teach the class how to do the clean. An exercise I use many days a week in training, piece of cake to teach right? Wrong. I went all deer in the headlights and completely froze.
I talked to John afterwards and he was very encouraging, kept my head up and helped me move on and forget about it. The next day I had to put the class of instructors through a workout.
Before I started I took a deep breath, remembered my conversation with John the day before and took command. No hesitation, no loss of thought, felt confident and owned it.
Thank you for helping me improve my self confidence in such a short time. Look forward to working with you again soon!
